Meetup/Hong Kong/Asian Month 2017

Discussion 討論區

@春卷柯南: Thank you so much for the invite! I am more than happy to help out! I have some questions:

1. Would it be okay if I attend the training session and provide help in English to those who need help in that language (for non-Chinese/Cantonese speakers)?
2. I would like to invite university students in Shenzhen to the edit-a-thon, but they may have difficulty getting Wikipedia accounts due to the Great Firewall situation. Is it okay that I invite them, and if so, should I try to have them sign-up in Shenzhen or is it okay to have them sign-up upon arrival in Hong Kong?
3. If the students come with me to the training session, I can give them help in English. Are any other volunteers in the training session knowledgeable in Putonghua? Would it be useful if I ask a student who does know Cantonese to translate between Cantonese and Putonghua?

Thank you! WhisperToMe (talk) 16:20, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@WhisperToMe: Thanks for your interest to attend the event and to provide assistance.

You're welcome to help us. I think that we're able to provide assistance for Cantonese, English, Mandarin Chinese (and even Japanese) speakers. For the Q&A session, you can ask us in any languages listed above.
It's okay for them to register an account on a Wikimedia site not blocked in Mainland China (it seems that blocked Chinese, Cantonese, Uyghur, Wu and Gan Wikipedia and Chinese Wikinews is blocked). If they can't, it's fine; I'm able to register accounts for anyone who has no Wikimedia accounts. --Spring Roll Conan ( Teahouse | Contributions ) 12:02, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback 參與後感

感謝柯南願意重整維基社群網絡，也要感謝Kris和白彌、1233等各位維基同工的協助，大家的能力及長處也有不同，自己在搜集資料的能力較强，也有「幕前演出」的自信，但我真是用得維基十多年，做了大家眼中的「元老」，慣用原始碼而不懂用視覺化編輯，自己又快人快語，大家也許不明白，請大家見諒！盼大家能繼續分工合作，讓維基做得更好！--TYC (talk) 18:04, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
非常感谢大家邀请我参加这次Wikipedia event，认识了好玩的朋友！希望下次大家还可以再聚在一起玩！Rainyiscoool (talk) 03:15, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
